Prepare the garnish. Peel, core and dice 2 apples. In 2 TBS butter heat and soften apples, then drain and blot with paper towels. Set aside.

In a large saucepan or stockpot, saute the leeks in the remaining butter til starting to soften. Toss in the apples and stir, coating well. Cook, uncovered, for about 5 minutes.

Mix in the stock, and the potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.

When the apples and potato are soft, puree solids in a blender until smooth. Return broth and puree to the saucepan, and add the heavy cream, brandy, and cinnamon.

Season to taste. If serving cold, overseason slightly and chill.

When ready, ladle into soup bowls (reheat first, if you are serving hot) and top with the apple dice garnish. Enjoy your own La Pommeraie Glacée!
